           FC8/kde

           Firefox-2.0.0.18-1.fc8 is crashing when it goes to another
           website, if I even try to check my Yahoo email on a http or
        https
           website.

           I removed and reinstall Firefox and I also removed .mozilla on
           user directory and didn't make any difference, it still
           crashes/shutdown, it has no affect on KDE. I can restart
        Firefox
           and recover.


        More description needed. Anything interesting in
        /var/log/messages? Output any error message? GUI window froze
        or closed? Give us a hint.

    This is the part of output from /var/log/messages, when Firefox
    crashed.

    Nov 24 17:50:02 Ferrells gconfd (lchris-2823): starting (version
    2.20.1), pid 2823 user 'lchris'

...

    Nov 24 17:50:03 Ferrells gconfd (lchris-2825): Failed to get lock
    for daemon, exiting: Failed to lock '/tmp/gconfd-lchris/lock/ior':
    probably another process has the lock, or your operating system
    has NFS file locking misconfigured (Resource temporarily unavailable)

Not clear. You're using KDE or Gnome? I thought gconfd was a gnome thing, looks like this is from when you logged in. Or else for some reason firefox is causing gconfd to start again, which would sort of explain the error message, if not the real cause.

GUI window froze or closed?

Are you using any NFS mounts? I've had similar logs before, when trying to use an NFS mounted home directory. Something about my config sets gnome and NFS for murder.

Dave

It is using KDE and the firefox GUI is just shutting down, disappearing .

I will be emailing you back later today.
Thanks
Jim
